Yesterday my fiance ordered pizza and I stopped myself after 2 pieces, instead of the usual 3/4 of the pizza!

Unicorn, you have iron willpower.
Two pieces? That would take a huge surge of inner power

Go you!!!!!

Today, today, today
Such a nice day
I watched the birds play
I kept the world at bay
No pressure, no way

Today I feel okay

Been doing some reading about difficult stuff. Sometimes I might push myself more than I should. It's been a little rough.

Are you eating in a way that's good to your body? That's what's hard for me: not overeating and not starving. Sometimes I just want to lose weight as fast as I can. It's hard for me to be satisfied with gradually learning healthy ways.

Along with well-balanced meals, I snacked all weekend on taquitos and ate a small cherry cheesecake pie all to myself. Neither the healthy food nor the good tasting junk food satiates my appetite, I am still hungry. I know I've overeaten when I chew TUMS before I go to bed and when I wake up at night. Constant acid reflux because the food does not have time to settle before I eat more. I feel gross.

I ate so much this weekend, that my stomach cannot stretch out any further.
I feel weak and out of control.
But, I know that I can do better tomorrow and each day after that

My father had a heart attack over the weekend and recovered quickly with strict orders from the doctor to eat well and get more exercise. My father told me that I have to do the same because I could be next in line since I'm about double the weight I should be.

It didn't stop me from eating an entire bag of cookies and ordering Chinese food.

So today I feel really bad about that because I promised my father I would do better.

How are you going to approach it?
Do you think that baby steps are the way to go, or make one giant leap?
When I quit coffee I quit cold turkey, I knew that I had to do it that way
Chips are a huge obsession for me, so maybe I should quit cold turkey

I ate a lot of fat today and now I feel full of regret and sadness. It's so hard to move my body too, in the winter. Arthritis makes my joints painful and I get dizzy from leaning on my bed. I'm not happy with myself at all. And this month is so hard.

I put in a grocery order and I went overboard with baked goods, chips, and ice cream. I don't eat much of it as a rule, it will last me a long time, but it's going to add weight, which I mustn't do! I'm so conflicted because I'm dying to eat that stuff but I'll be so miserable if I gain weight.

I did buy several liters of flavored seltzer instead of pop so that's good. And I removed one package of cookies from my order. Still have too much coming though. Hopefully I'll just be satisfied eating one of each thing and throw most of the rest of it out. That's awfully wasteful though.

I removed all but one pack of cookies. I didn't remove a box of Twinkies though because I've been wanting one for years. The ice cream can keep in the freezer so that's not so bad. And chips will keep awhile too.

I don't even know yet. I think baby steps work best for me because big changes to my daily life kind of freak me out. I started out by just buying healthier options at the grocery store. More food I had to actually prepare instead of just popping it in the microwave. Less snacks. No soda. Lots of bottled water. Greens. The whole works.

I went on a binge the other night and ate like 6 clementines! LOL! That was my sugar intake for the day, or maybe the week! But at least it wasn't 6 cookies.

I'm dealing w/ this issue too. I just made sure I didn't buy those things. I went grocery shopping when I didn't have a sweet tooth!

I always have a sweet tooth. I just have to go shopping when I have lots of willpower, or not enough money for sweets

Thanks. I did remove the twinkies from my order in time. Now I'm anxious because it will be delivered in the next couple of hours and I'm hoping everything goes smoothly. I always have a sweet tooth though. I wish I didn't!

I would really like to learn how to stop eating when I am full

I feel controlled by food.

They didn't sell me my ice cream, it was out of stock. So I dont have the huge stash of dangerous foods I thought I would. I ate a sandwich and cookie and now I'm finally starting to feel full so I hope I don't binge on the chips. I think I might have too much bread, but I'm not sure. Two loaves but one is a huge round loaf that intimidates me.
